Had I been an infantary soldier in WW2, I think I'd much have preferred an SMG or an MP-40 to a rifle. It may be less accurate, but it's quicker to use and lighter, too. I know I've survived a lot longer in close combat when weilding a sub machine gun in games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honour. The only time the rifle is really superior is when taking shots at distant targets, where accuracy is more important.

Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark or even eagle flew- And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God. - John Gillespie Magee, Jr. 1922-1941
